North Korea criticises Trump's 'sinister' State of the Union address

Pyongyang hits back at US after Trump highlighted rights abuses, saying the president is ‘terrified’

North Korea has hit back at Donald Trump after he criticised the regime for its human rights abuses in his State of the Union address, with Pyongyang describing the speech as the “screams of Trump” who was “terrified” by its power.

The comments on Sunday follow months of fiery rhetoric between the two countries, with Trump drawing criticism at home for repeatedly using menacing language towards the reclusive state.
